Four-wheel drive version still a fast compact coupe, but with much better manners.

In the not too distant future, driving an internal combustion engine will be considered a niche. Trees will be hugged, cows will be massaged and vegans will continue to murder vegetables.

Sadly, the next one will probably run a 650-cc engine from BMW’s GS range of motorbikes with electric motors on each axle to produce 350 kW, and the one thereafter will be fuelled by Superman-friendly kryptonite and produce 550 kW. This, in turn, makes this BMW M240i the second-fastest 240i we have tested. It is a fraction quicker to 100 km/h than the rear-wheel driven M2 and the M2 Competition, but a bit slower than the 331 kW M2 CS.
